Texas Holdem Poker Cowboy

Texas Holdem Poker Cowboy is a card game where two hands compare Texas Hold'em rankings. You can predict whether the Cowboy or the Bull wins, bet on the starting cards, or bet on the winner's final hand rank.

Basic Rules

One standard 52-card deck, no jokers.
The Cowboy and the Bull each get 2 hole cards and share 5 community cards.
Each side makes its best 5-card hand from 7 cards. The higher hand wins; identical hands are a Tie.

How to Bet

Choose a chip: Tap a chip value. Tap the settings button at the bottom right to pick your 6 chip values.
Choose a betting area: Tap to bet before the countdown ends. Tap again to add more, or bet on several areas.
Wait for the reveal: Both hands and the community cards are shown and the result is decided automatically.
Check your payout: Each area settles on its own at that area's odds.

Shortcuts: Undo removes your latest bet, Rebet repeats last round, Auto bets for several rounds in a row.

Odds and bet limits shown in the game always apply.

Three Types of Bets

Cowboy Win / Tie / Bull Win: Who Wins

Betting area	Wins when
Cowboy Win	The Cowboy's final hand is higher
Bull Win	The Bull's final hand is higher; stake only is returned if the Bull wins on High Card
Tie	Both best 5-card hands are identical
Bull Win with High Card	The Bull wins on High Card

In a Tie, only Tie wins. The other three areas lose.

Any Hand: The Two Starting Cards

Only the 2 hole cards of either side count. Community cards don't, and that side doesn't need to win.

Betting area	Wins when	Example
Suited / Connector	Same suit or consecutive ranks (A-2 and K-A count)	8♠ J♠, 8♣ 9♦
Pair	Same rank, including a pair of Aces	6♠ 6♦
Ace Pair	Both cards are Aces	A♠ A♦

Each area pays once per round. A pair of Aces wins both Pair and Ace Pair, and each pays.

Winning Hand Rank: The Winner's Final Hand

Based on the winner's best 5-card hand. Only one area wins per round. In a Tie, all lose.

Betting area	Winner's final hand
High Card / One Pair	High Card or One Pair
Two Pair	Two Pair
Trips / Straight / Flush	Trips(Three of a Kind), Straight or Flush
Full House	Full House
Quads / Straight Flush	Four of a Kind or Straight Flush (including Royal Flush)

Hand Rankings

Hand (high to low)	What it is
Straight Flush	Five consecutive cards of one suit; 10-J-Q-K-A is a Royal Flush
Quads (Four of a Kind)	Four cards of one rank
Full House	Trips(Three of a Kind) plus a Pair
Flush	Five cards of one suit
Straight	Five consecutive ranks
Trips (Three of a Kind)	Three cards of one rank
Two Pair	Two different pairs
One Pair	Two cards of one rank
High Card	None of the above

Card ranks: A > K > Q > J > 10 > … > 2. An Ace can also play low in a straight: A-2-3-4-5 is the lowest.

When ranks are equal, the cards making the hand are compared first, then the rest. Suits never break ties.

Examples
